Yes indeedy. Don't look now, but that option is already fading into the past. It's just not cost effective to release 'full-production' CDs in most cases. I'd bet that those limited run cdrs and downloads are going to be the only options very soon. Vinyl will hang in there as long as possible, but in this little corner of the music industry, CDs are pretty much already in the coffin and waiting for the eulogy. jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
